How to Spread Bet on Altria? |
If you want to speculate on companies like Altria then one option is to spread bet on the Altria share price.
Looking at a site like Tradefair, we can see that they are valuing the Altria Rolling Daily market at $34.06 - $34.11. Therefore, you can put a spread bet on the Altria shares:
 Going above $34.11, or
 Going below $34.06
Whilst spread trading on S&P 500 equities you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, should you decide to invest £3 per cent and the Altria shares move $0.27 then that would be a difference to your P&L of £81. £3 per cent x $0.27 = £81.
Note that you are also able to trade this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that there is no closing date for this market. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
If your spread bet is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Go up - then you would normally pay a small financing fee, or
Go down - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account

Altria Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example |
Now, if we consider the above spread of $34.06 - $34.11 and make the assumptions that:
- You have completed your research, and
- You feel that the Altria share price looks like it will move higher than $34.11
Then you may decide to go long of the market at $34.11 and risk, for the sake of argument, £4 per cent.
With such a bet you make a profit of £4 for every cent that the Altria shares push above $34.11. Having said that, it also means that you will make a loss of £4 for every cent that the Altria market moves below $34.11.
Looked at another way, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few sessions the share price started to move upwards then you could choose to close your position in order to guarantee your profit.
If that happened then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to $34.45 - $34.50. You would settle/close your trade by selling at $34.45. Therefore, with the same £4 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($34.45 - $34.11) x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = $0.34 x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = 34¢ x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = £136 profit
Spread betting on shares is not always simple. In this case, you had bet that the share price would go up. Of course, the share price might decrease.
If the Altria shares began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your position to limit your losses.
Should the spread drop to $33.72 - $33.77 then this means you would settle/close your trade by selling at $33.72. Accordingly, your loss would be:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($33.72 - $34.11) x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -$0.39 x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -39¢ x £4 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -£156 loss
Note - Altria Rolling Daily spread betting price quoted as of 06-Feb-13.
